School bus drivers, districts struggle with high diesel prices, fear future of small companies

Near record-high diesel prices have some school bus drivers questioning how long the wheels will still go 'round. Diesel costs almost $3 more per gallon than one year ago. That means it costs $36 more for fuel to drive 100 miles than it did last year. Buses travel about seven miles on one gallon of diesel. Depending on the contract with a school district, the driver or company may be responsible for paying the increase.
